Archontophoenix alexandrae
King Palm, Alexander Palm
Yesterday we talked about the Queen Palm. Today, meet the King.
It has the crownshaft, the posture, and the presence Queen Palms can’t quite match. If you had to choose just one…
Queen or King? 👇

Salacca zalacca
Snake Fruit Palm
Spiny, sneaky, and sweet—Salacca zalacca (snake fruit) grows low and bites hard.
Handle with care, harvest with courage, and enjoy one of the tropics’ most unusual fruits. 🐍🌴
